Your footwear should do more than just keep your feet safe from the elements: add some edge to your fall wardrobe with heels that double as works of art. We¹re talking freak-show status heels, but with a little more fashion than freak, of course. Look for heels in heights that make the Eiffel Tower feel short, platforms that make children run in the other direction, angular shapes that'll make passersby do a double-take, in materials that range from pony hair to shaggy fur.

Why? Because you can. We've chosen 7 pairs of space-defying heels that would make Lady Gaga proud.
